Protect Children and the Future We All Share

When you give to Save the Children, 87% of every dollar goes straight to our mission — changing the lives of millions of children right here in the U.S. and around the world.

  • $50 – can keep 10 children from going hungry during a pandemic
  • $150 – can provide 75 face masks to protect health workers on the front lines of COVID-19
  • $300 – can help 12 families with emergency shelter following a devastating crisis

Thanks to your support, we’re transforming the way health care is delivered in the world’s hardest-to-reach places.

Even when food is scarce, water is dirty and medical care non-existent, children tell us they want one thing above all else: the chance to go to school.
